rights, and that this application and its services may therefore not be able to perform some of
the actions you can perform when you create or edit a given configuration.
The simplest thing to ensure that rights are the same across your whole network is to create an
administrator network account especially for PlanetPress Workflow Tools. This will ensure that
the PlanetPress Workflow and all its services have the same rights on all computers and that it
is therefore able to perform all the actions defined it needs to on every computer on your
network. A less permissive solution is to create an administrator local account for PlanetPress
Workflow and to replicate it on each computer where PlanetPress Workflow and its services are
likely to perform operations, such as get files, store files, or run applications and perform
operations.
Local settings
Different users may create different printer queues. Let us say you have a big HP printer in your
office. User A creates a printer queue on his system called “Big HP” for that printer, and user B
creates one called “My printer” for the same printer. A configuration created on user A’s system
and then used on user B’s system would generate errors trying to print to the “Big HP” printer
queue.
Different users may also map network drives differently. Let us say this time that you have a
server in your office. User A maps that server’s main drive using drive letter “y:” while user B
maps it using drive letter “z:” A configuration created on one system and then used on the other
would both get and save the wrong files from the wrong drives. Note that such situations may
be avoided by using the Universal Naming Convention option.
User specificity
PlanetPress Workflow configurations are not user specific as such. If you make sure that all the
user accounts have adequate network rights, that printer queues are defined the same way on
all systems, and that all network drives are mapped using the same drive letters (or that the
UNC option is selected in the network options), then you should have no problems running
configurations on different systems using different user accounts.
Workflow Services
To be able to run and to have access to local files as well as to files available on other
computers in your network, PlanetPress Workflow applications and services must identify
themselves using a local or network account.
